1966 Fender Jazz Bass Refin White 

SPECS

Weight: 9.8 lbs 

Case: Hardshell Case

Year: 1966

Condition: Very good with some various dings/marks/scratches throughout.  Refinish isn't perfect and there are a few areas that show imperfections (see more in the mods/repairs section of our listing).  Small hole on the lower horn.  Some scratching on metal components.  Bit of finish wear on the neck as well.  

Tech Notes: 

Mods/Repairs/Issues: A subtle neck ramp was addressed with a full-pocket shim and fret leveling/re-crowning above the 12th fret. This eliminated 90% of the fret buzz that was most noticeable on the high G string. You will still notice the slightest fret buzz on sustained notes in the higher register of the G string, however it isn't audible through an amp and no choke out of notes. The frets appear to be original to the instrument. Additional screw hole from what appears to be a strap button on the other horn (most likely a left handed bassist used at one time).

The refinish has a couple of blem spots, like a slight paint drip near the neck plate, but overall it looks pretty good and doesn’t distract from its vintage character/aesthetics.
